Give and take is the way\nof the library<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now a breath held, a\nmoment frozen,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I remain with this:\nmosquitos,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bulgaria, the poems of\nJane Kenyon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An awkward\nfreeze-frame, mid-conversation,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not the self-portrait\nI’d have chosen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But here we are\ntogether, mosquitos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s you and me now,\nJane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’re gonna do this\ntogether, Bulgaria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last week I could dip\ninto fancy,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ponder another in a\nseries,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reject what didn’t\nsuit, on a whim;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now you share my\ndistance, Bulgaria,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jane–even you, mosquitos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I clutch your binding\nclose and wonder<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What I’ll have learned\nby your pages’ end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
